Blizzard to Eye Northeast Overnight
Accuweather: A major snowstorm is sweeping across the Midwest and Northeast Thursday, creating treacherous travel conditions for millions.
It is going to be a wild night.. The Weather Channel didn’t plan it this way, but this storm is named Hercules
I will admit I love snowy and cold nights—as long as the power stays on, of course. I truly enjoy walking under streetlights while snow steadily falls.
With blizzard conditions, though, it may prove a jarring experience.. Maybe I’ll just settle for memories of a more tranquil storm and not brave the sub zero wind chills and heavy snow that is expected to fall.
If things get really haywire, I will avoid the outside altogether.. and cover the windows so I don’t have the chance of seeing Andre Linoge walking in the falling snow, looking for what he wants until he goes away..
Be safe if you one of the hundred million or so folks getting prepped for a big storm..
..CROATAN..

Dogs poop in line with Earth’s magnetic field, says study | The Raw Story
We are told this:
The study examined the daily habits of 70 dogs during 1,893 defecations and 5,582 urinations over the course of two years. Consistently, during times of calm electromagnetic “weather,” the dogs chose to eliminate while facing north or south.
I’ve read from silly things in my life.. and this very well be one of them.
pparently the people who studied dogs never met Mutley the dog. I’d hardly say there is a rhyme or reason to where he lets it loose.. Nonetheless, offered up for you skeptical discernment: Dogs poop where the magnetic field takes them

Historic FDR Bible goes missing after de Blasio swearing in
At first I thought it went up in flames when Bill Clinton touched his hands to it. But further reading of the story a detective did locate the bible and shouted ‘we found it!’ when it was discovered..
All good things come to a nice end.
I wonder if anyone thought to say a quick prayer to St. Anthony during their search. That’s what nuns in my parochial school upbringing would have done..

Sorry to ruin a new year..
The beginning of a year always comes with hope—you can make plans and resolutions. On January 1, everything seems possible..
After I was done the traditional sauerkraut dinner today with family, I began thinking a bit about my own resolutions. I have some hopes and dreams for better employment, to successful train a child to use a potty, and to attempt to stop a puppy from biting. There are some other personal aspirations that I’d rather not share with the world through a website..
The last thing I want to see are hopes dashed by some God awful world event.. we are victims too often to fate, evil, and plain old bad luck..
So when I saw a link posted on Drudge tonight about the United States government ordering 14 million doses of potassium iodide, it was unsettling. The source, of course, is Alex Jones’ INFOWARS.. so there are some big iodized grains of salt I chose to take with the information..but the information shared there is directly from the government’s FedBizOpps site..
I figured.. maybe this is normal.. Maybe this is alright.. Just another order on the federal site, and someone paranoid website owner took it the wrong way.
And then there is this..
A plume of mysterious smoke is rising from reactor 3 at Fukushima in Japan.. You can read more from RT.COM on that.
I saw that information posted tonight on Weatherboy Weather’s Facebook page.. He was hit hard by commentary on his post concerning Reactor 3’s smoke rising .. people called the story a hoax, fear mongering, and fake.
But the information is very, very real..much to the horror of the world—whatever parts of that are actually paying attention to the Fukushima nightmare.
If you think that RT is not a valuable source of information, there are some others you may want to consider on this same developing story:
- From COUNTERPUNCH: The Mystery Plume Rising Over Fukushima’s Reactor 3
- The ECOLOGIST: Fukushima meltdown? Mystery steam rising over Reactor 3
- Voice of Russia: Steam over Fukushima as sign of catastrophe: 89 tons of deadly …
The ECOLOGIST does take into consideration some other possibilities, besides an apocalyptic meltdown, such as the smoke is happening because rain is hitting stray fuel elements. But the other portions of the story are more troubling: A meltdown may be taking place, or corium has reached groundwater and a complete meltdown has occurred, something that will reach the Pacific Ocean.
I have reported lots of Fukushima since 2011. Even though I have re-posted some horrid news about the events there, including recent information that Japan is not only silencing people telling the truth about the disaster, but also recruiting the homeless to clean up the radioactive mess, I have tried to believe that things will work out.. that Fukushima is a long-distance nightmare, something happening somewhere ‘there’ and its disturbing developments will not impose pain anywhere else.
But those simply ways to tell myself everything is alright may be out the proverbial window with this information of strange smoke rising.
I am not at the alarmist level just yet, with one of those ‘bring out your dead’ sources being Turner Radio Network telling people along the West Coast to prepare for an immediate meltdown at Fukushima.
The world was told this by TEPCO: The process of removing spent fuel rods was going to be delicate and dangerous.
There still may be some hope, though.. A website named FUKUSHIMAUPDATE.COM has a story running trying to tame down the flames of fear over the reactor 3 steam.. The site also offered up some more factual information, again, downplaying any cataclysmic event..
So ….all eyes on reactor 3. At least for whatever eyes are looking at it. Unless there are still journalists being told to keep quiet about what is happening at Fukushima..
Blizzard-like conditions coming. I'd rather use the term 'blizzardy'
Blizzard-like conditions are likely tomorrow evening for most of New Jersey, the New York City metropolitan area, all of Long Island, most of Delaware, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, all of Rhode Island, and portions of eastern Pennsylvania.
The term “blizzard” is related to windspeed more so than amount of snow.
It will be very cold .. so the snow that falls will be light and fluffy—easy to shovel. But the wind will make it difficult—and ‘blizzardy’ ..
Here’s the latest from ACCUWEATHER.. I’m on a borderline between not much and a little more than not much. The real action will happen as they try to clean up the mess in Times Square.. a blizzard is a comin’ to greet us in ‘14..
Maybe you saw this image before, maybe not. Either way it reminds me of time itself.. as you stare at the photo (try it) it will vanish.. sure it’s your eyes playing tricks on your and your brain mis-reading the picture..
Isn’t that what happens daily?
You see your child born.. and before you know it’s he’s three and 33 and .. you’re not around to see him get older?
2013 began with a blast. And ends with a whimper—a vanishing act like this image before your eyes.
But in a sense the year is still there. Somewhere.. trapped in memories or in a time warp. When you re-focus the picture comes back.
But 2013 will not—at least not on the calender on this time line.
Instead it has slipped and slided away.. exited stage left as we banged pots and pans when the clock struck midnight. New York City revelers kissed under the night sky as the ball came down. We all sang Auld Lang Syne—at least the first verse since it’s the only one we know anymore..
'14. You're here.
Be kind, we don’t want to rewind.
And really we can’t… can’t go back—even if we want to.
It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times. It’s just time to party like it’s 1999..
Stay clean. Don’t be mean.
It’s 2014.

I can only say this about what I am witnessing on TV from Times Square
1) ABC airing constant commercials during each break of Michael Bolton singing in the back seat of a car will haunt me until 2015..
2) Miley Cyrus had a great run in 2013. But with her awful live performance, I can only say I hope she enjoyed it. Dick Clark is rolling in the grave..
Baby it’s cold outside.
But Ryan Seacrest looks so warm his makeup may run…
And Carson Daly? that’s quite the inside fire they have running on NBC.
Sometimes it is better to just watch the ball drop from the safety net of a building with walls to confine warmth. But for those braving cold air under a beautiful clear winter sky, godspeed.

No matter what you do or try to, you can’t turn back the hands of time.
Enjoy the last few hours of 2013.. as they slip into history, forging a path for a new and fresh start in 2014.
Goodbye unlucky 13.. you’ve been too real for our good.

This is how Japan does it..
They are recruiting the homeless to help cleanup radioactive Fukushima! And with the new law that passed there, don’t expect many Japanese news agencies to report a word of this..
A page turner: The calender changing.
TUESDAY DECEMBER 31 2013
The last day unlucky 13..
You have heard enough of the year in review laments by now.. the best and worst.. the nice and bad..
It is interesting that we do this, too.. That one day, New Years day, can mean so much of a difference to us..
The most meaningless place I think you can be tonight is a dive bar.. cowered in the smoky corner —wait can you still smoke in them!?—listening to some awful band try to recreate magic from 1970s tunes… After the party streamers and noise makers get thrown to the side, you’re still in a dive bar. You’re still in a bad place for your spirit and soul. Believe me, I spent some New Years in dive bars. One in particular when I was in my early 20s and either had too much to drink or got sick from the buffet turkey meat that they served at midnight..
Tonight my new years will be quiet.. My wife and I have dinner tonight at one of the most wonderful restaurants in the world, Martin’s in Hazleton, PA.. After that we will come back home and relieve our babysitter of her duty of watching Ayden watch Woody Woodpecker on Netflix. And then watch a new years eve rock without Dick Clark but with Ryan Seacreast. At 11:59 Seacrest will announce ‘13 out’ and we will sing, dance, and kiss our loved ones as the manmade calender switches to a new digit..
And that is how we do it, here on earth. For those keeping track in space above… we celebrate a year that was and make promises to ourselves for the next. And yes, by February those promises are long gone memories .. sometimes by January 2 they are, as a matter of fact..
For the first time, this year, I plan on resolving a few things.. A personal set of mental ailments and roadblocks that have hindered my advancement as a human for a long time… those I want to rid myself of. I am going to attempt to have a clean slate.. and attempt to forge a new path of hope and change. No, I am not running for president. Instead, I am attempting to succeed in this world, change some lives for the better, and add love instead of hate to a planet that is filled with the noise of evil …even though it’s overrun by the quiet of purity and morality.
I hope you stick to your resolution, whatever you choose for it to be.

Bad form, Sasha Fierce.. Bad form
A friend of mine is a big Jay-Z and Beyonce fan.. I constantly jab him with jokes about her alleged involvement with the Illuminati.. and he doesn’t even want to listen when I try to play him sound files of Beyonce claiming that she channels an alternate personality named Sasha Fierce for her live performances.
Maybe Beyonce would be smart if she blamed some recent actions on Fierce..
She is being slammed by families of dead astronauts and current NASA employees for sampling audio files from the space shuttle Challenger disaster..
For those who remember, Challenger exploded in 1986 only a little over a minute after it took off. With a school teacher on board, it was being watched on live television all across the United States when it happened—school kids were forever scarred by the memory of seeing the space shuttle begin its long death when that disaster took place. Ronald Reagan addressed the nation..
And now Beyonce chose to use sound clips of the final moment of life for astronauts that fateful January day in her new song XO.. the song is about a troubled relationship .. So I guess that makes sense to use a sound file of heroes dying in a horrid inferno. (Sarcasm there.. it does not translate well in text) …
NASA is angry. Former and current space employees aren’t to happy.. families of those who died that day aren’t smiling. And I am just left scratching my Illuminati fearing head. What was Sasha thinking? She says that she wanted to include the sounds of the disaster in her XO song as a ‘tribute’ to those who died that day.. I just cannot fathom the perplexing logic that made her think people would just fine with her decision to use that audio file..
And if Beyonce didn’t get the offensive nature of it, surely Jay-Z would have..?
